When you were my girl, there were times you'd look at me

And I knew exactly, how it felt to be loved

When you were my girl, I don't know if I told you

But whenever I'd hold you, it scared me so much



You were all that I needed, you were all that I had

The one I could turn to, when the world had gone mad

And I guess I just wanted, for you to know that



Chorus:

Not a day goes by I don't think of you

(Do you...ever...think of me when you're alone)

Or I don't ask myself why

(Do you...ever...wonder how things could have gone)

If everything's so perfect now

(Do you...ever...think of me and start to cry)

Why do I cry all the time

I didn't cry

When you were my girl

When you were my girl



When I was your man, if I took you for granted

Please understand it was my foolish heart

Girl you were my best friend, baby your love complete me

I loved you completely, just as you are



And if you couldn't feel that, then how I regret

That I never told you, all the things I should've said

But I guess that's the one chance that I'll never get



Chorus



And now I'm walking this world without you

And with every step I take

I find out every day

How much further my heart can break - oh yeah



I don't understand why

We let something so beautiful

Just fade and die

We should have tried

One more time

When you were my girl

When you were my girl
